My 1st Electrical Niggle! Ah MAN!

Post by entropy » Thu Sep 27, 2012 3:36 pm

Hey Guys,

I have my 1st electrical issue. The last 2 days when I start the engine the rear passenger window goes down. it won't go up again either unless I turn the engine off or I turn it off and use key fob to put the window up. All the other windows work.

This started after my wife, turned engine off while leaving it in drive. She noticed key was stuck so then with engine off put it in park. Now everytime we start the rear window goes down.

Any idea's/things for me to check?

Thanks

Try the battery reset - take the negative off and leave it 'dead' for a few hours and then connect everything back up.
